Likebook devices - new launcher with wallpaper

MarekGibek · 10-31-2020, 03:44 PM

Hi!

Android on Likebook Mars has that problem that the wallpaper support is removed from the system. And all the launchers I have tried failed with showing the wallpaper.

So, I took an open source launcher (LukeLauncher, thanks Luke for it), put a wallpaper image inside it and changed code to show it in background as an ordinary image. And here it is. The trick works. The launcher that can show wallpaper on Likebook Mars (should work also on other devices). More info: https://github.com/marek-g/EinkLukeLauncher.

Download APK from: https://github.com/marek-g/EinkLukeLauncher/releases

As this is a quick change, there is no option to change the wallpaper. But I think this is possible with tools like APK Editor Studio or APK Tool to replace the wallpaper inside the APK file and resign it. It's location is: assets/www/icons/wallpaper.png.

Have fun!!
